Meet RoastMate — the AI that has zero chill about your face. Take a selfie or pick a photo, and let the on-device AI analyze your features and deliver a brutally funny, personalized roast. Choose your intensity: Mild, Medium, or Savage. Share your roast card with friends and see who can handle the heat. How it works: • Take a selfie or pick a photo from your library • On-device AI analyzes your face — no data ever leaves your phone • Get a personalized roast based on your features • Share your roast card or save it to your photos Privacy first: All AI processing happens entirely on your device. Your photos are never uploaded or stored anywhere. On first launch, RoastMate downloads a one-time AI model (~800MB) to power your roasts locally. You can skip this and use the app immediately with pre-written roasts. Roasts are meant to be funny, not mean. All content is light-hearted and safe for sharing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RoastMate at none against UTM SE's 3. RoastMate also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 4 months). UTM SE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
